Warm, cozy & available in a ton of cute colors you can get one today for just $15.95 and FREE shipping when you use code BLANKETGIFT at checkout. Just head here to shop, and keep an eye out for another special offer at checkout – a Cents of Style inspirational bangle for just $2.99. Perfect stocking stuffers and everything will ship at the beginning of next week to make sure it gets to you by Christmas.

Target cardigan – I mentioned in an IG post last night that I’ve been living in this one particular open cardigan I got at Target. Of course it must be an “in store only” purchase because nothing I looked at from Mossimo online matched, but it is worth hunting for. It looks a lot like this one, but in heather gray and is a nice long length and a super soft fabric. And it has thumbholes. Adore. Right now Target has all their clothing buy 1 get 1 50% off, so it’s a good time to stock up on cozy cardis.

Target joggers – The other items I’ve been living in the last few weeks are these joggers from Target. They’re insanely soft & comfy and perfect for those lounge around the house days. For some reason they don’t offer all sizes online, but you can find them in stores. All of my favorite pjs are actually this brand because of how soft they are (I like soft clothes & I can not lie…)

Broadchurch – There has been some binge watching happening lately. And if you haven’t watched Broadchurch yet, I highly recommend it. I was sold immediately because of David Tennant but it’s so beautifully filmed and smartly written that you really won’t be able to stop watching. Or trying to guess “who did it”…and if you’re like me, you will be SHOCKED at both season finales.

Jessica Jones (Netflix) – Fair warning: if you like your tv shows clean (free of violence, adult relationships, swearing, etc.) this one won’t be for you. But if you love a Marvel action flick and a kick-butt female lead? Yeah, this one rocks. Again, David Tennant is in this one but your mind will be blown by his evilness. I knew I was hooked when I was up way too late looking online for Jessica Jones’ “origin story” on the Marvel website. Nerd alert. Also I’m now watching Arrow, which I like but it has me confused. It’s always raining outside? He somehow gets a computer to print clothing for the Huntress? Where does the cute mini crossbow come from – how long has he been planning that? All the questions…but it’s fun & I love a hero story.

Bluetooth Speaker – Sometimes you stumble across a deal on Amazon you just can’t pass up. It might happen to me daily. But this amazing little bluetooth speaker is on sale for $21 – when it’s regularly $130. That’s insane! Plus it has two things I always look for in an awesome Amazon product – a LOT of reviews (somewhere over 1700) and it’s still at a 4.5 star rating. I’d call that a win. What a perfect stocking stuffer – or a great gift for yourself to play your Christmas music wherever you are!

Let me know what awesome deals, finds, or favorites you’ve found this week!
